My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 119

Activating the light step burst, Aiden’s body flashed forward and charged towards the Gentle Criminal.

“You’re to hasty young man.” Smiling at Aiden’s actions, Gentle applied elasticity to the air in front of him.

Predicting how Gentle would approach this fight, Aiden couldn’t help but smirk at his fruitless attempt and shifted through the elastic air.

“WHAT!!”

Surprised that his plan had been seen through, Gentle didn’t have enough time to react before Aiden’s fist connected with his face.

“Burst.”

*BOOM!!*

Blowing Gentle off his feet and into the air, a glint passed through Aiden’s eyes before he crouched down and leapt after him.

“GENTLE!!” LaBrava screamed in panic.

Tumbling through the air at high speeds, Gentle activated his quirk and created a spring under his feet.

“Nice recovery.”

Raising his head, the figure of Aiden approaching him at a neck breaking speed entered his sight.

Feeling the spring under him start to push back, Gentle found himself being thrown towards the purple haired Avenger.

“Now who’s approaching who?”

Grinning at Gentle charging towards him, Aiden gathered astral energy around his fists and prepared to strike him.

Unfortunately for him, Gentle had other plans. Activating his quirk again, Gentle changed his trajectory and head down towards his partner.

“LABRAVA!!” He shouted.

While this was happening, Aiden was watching with slight interest. He knew that Gentle wasn’t a fighter and was quite curious about what actions he would take.

Landing for less than a second, Gentle grabbed LaBrava and the duo bounced off into the distance.

“A strategic retreat huh? Not a bad move.” Aiden commented before going after them.

—

“Have we lost him?” Gentle asked keeping his eyes ahead.

Not expecting to run into such a formidable foe so soon, Gentle felt all out of whack.

“No. What are we gonna do Gentle!?”

Frowning at the situation at hand, Gentle suddenly felt a horrific amount of killing intent lock on to him. Freezing up once again, Gentle lost his balance and the two plummeted towards a woodland area.

“GENTLE!!” LaBrava screamed.

“Urgh…” Crawling out of the small dust cloud that they had created, Gentle felt that horrifying killing intent target him again.

Descending from the sky with his hands in his pockets, Aiden looked down at the two criminals sprawled out on the ground.

“I’ve still got some time left before we have to end this. Wanna try to do some more stunts? I’m sure you’ll get more subscribers.”

Hearing Aiden’s mocking words, Gentle wasn’t able to keep his composure any longer and screamed “FUCCCKKK!!!!” before punching the ground.

Subscribers? After having a near death experience, gaining subscribers was the last thing on his mind.

‘Why did I have to run into this monster?!!’ He cried internally before looking over at LaBrava.

Holding similar thoughts, LaBrava looked over at Gentle.

This was not how they saw their day going.

Attack UA.

Gain internet fame.

Become a legend.

Who would have thought that they’d run into their first obstacle before even getting to UA. If it wasn’t for this, THIS DEMON!! They wouldn’t be here worried for their lives.

“Y’know Gentle, your not weak, I’m simply *RELEASE SOUL CRUSHING KILLING INTENT* … Far stronger.”

[A/n: Only my Black Clover manga readers will get that reference.]

Releasing enough killing intent to break a person’s mind, Gentle and LaBrava shook in terror as it finally dawned on them about the kind of person they were facing.

“So… You got anymore tricks? I’m on a time limit.”

Frustrated by his words, Gentle clenched his fists, but in the face of such killing intent, he had no choice but to bow his head.

“Gentle…” LaBrava mumbled.

Seeing the look of despair appearing in Gentle’s eyes, LaBava felt her ċhėst hurt as past memories flooded her mind.

“I love you.”

Hearing that, Gentle’s eyes widened as a pink aura started emanating off of him.

“LaBrava?” Feeling power swell up inside of him, he remembered the reason he became a criminal in the first place. As his power rose so did his confidence.

How could he lose here?

This was just another obstacle in his way towards notoriety.

And obstacles… were made to be overcome.

Pushing self up from the ground, Gentle took a stand and looked up at the airborne Aiden.

“Hmm…”

‘Is this the power of love?’

After reading as much manga as he had, he guessed that the pink aura coming off Gentle represented LaBrava’s love for him.

‘Does this mean he’s getting a power up?’

Recalling his manga knowledge, in situations such as these, the protagonist’s love interest usually tells the protagonist her true feelings which in turn allows the protagonist to gain a significant power-up and defeat the antagonist in a spectacular climax.

“Avenger, No! Aiden, for the sake of my dream… I will defeat you!”

Not listening to his words, Aiden was stuck in his own head.

‘Wait! Does that mean that I’m the antagonist in this situation?!!’

Realizing his role in this circumstance, Aiden felt his eyebrows twitch in annoyance.

*BEEP!* *BEEP!*

“Huh?” Taking his phone out of his pocket, he saw that he was about to run out of time.

‘Guess its time to end this.’

“In order to be remembered, I will-

“Gentle.” Aiden cut him off.

“I get it. I really do, but let me give you some advice before we end this okay? In the face of absolute power-

His body flickered and appeared besides Gentle with his hand grabbing onto his face.

“Love is meaningless.”
